About Eli:
To: The Indie Street Cred Powers That Be From: Eli, musician, 24, female, blue eyes, looking.
My label said I need to have a bio if I want [redacted] to put me on Fresh Finds or [redacted] to give me a 7.8 on Pitchfork. To which you’re probably thinking, “wow. The label couldn’t even afford a PR person to write this bio?” and the answer is yes. Tough times at Zelig (but you didn’t hear that from me). Luckily, my debut album Stage Girl came out on Halloween before they closed the doors for good ⋆｡°✩ Stage Girl is what happens when you give a girl from the suburbs of Massachusetts too much Dunkin: a conceptual pop epic about reclaiming the fedora and childhood trauma through a fictional reality singing competition. My most formative moments with music were sitting on a beige Bernie and Phils carpet and voting for my favorite girls on singing competitions (#JusticeForHaileyReinhart). Amanda Overmyer was my Janis Joplin, Jessica Sanchez was my Whitney Houston. Seeing some random girl belt her heart out every Tuesday to Billy Crystal lit a fire in me so strong I started singing on the internet (so not that strong). I got a record deal from it, but they tried to make me be Justin Bieber, so I stopped This time though, I started posting everything; every demo, most thoughts, some selfies… I was throwing spaghetti at the wall. Do you like spaghetti?
THE UNRAVELING is not a departure from what got PUP here, really; for all the new breadth, this is still very much the fourth album by the band that has spun songs about The Bad Decisions Lifestyle into scrappy art. The hooks are as bright and barbed as always; the poison threaded through every song is no less potent. But a fourth album should be different from the first, or even the third, and THE UNRAVELING is. “I don’t know that we set out to do new stuff,” Mykula says, of a record on which the band does a great deal of new stuff. “It’s just a band trying to sound as much like themselves as possible. Every record you make, you get closer to that.”
Joyce Manor is a band who have never relied on gimmicks. Since forming in Torrance, California, in 2008, the band—vocalist/guitarist Barry Johnson, bassist Matt Ebert and guitarist Chase Knobbe—have built-up a feverish fanbase by writing catchy, pop-punk songs that seem straight-forward on the surface but teeming with carefully crafted nuances upon multiple listens.
